Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu review

Meanwhile, Times Now rated 3 stars to Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. A part of the review read, "Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is a perfect festive entertainer for Sankranti audiences.

This is a quintessential Chiranjeevi film—where heroism, humour, and charisma lead the way."Did you enjoy watching Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu? Tweet @TimesNow and share your thoughts on X.
